Athletic Training for Men and Boys - A Comprehensive System of Training Tables for All Events

"e;Athletic Training for Men and Boys"e; is a vintage illustrated guide to athletics by F. A. M. Webster. It contains a complete system of athletics training to be followed by coaches or students, and will be of considerable utility to athletes new and old. Frederick Annesley Michael Webster (1886 - 1949) was a British athletics coach and author, and soldier active during World War One. He wrote profusely on the subject of athletics, with his best known book being "e;Athletics in Action"e; (1931). Contents include: Value of Training and Use of Training"e;, "e;Tables of Effort Explained"e;, "e;The Sprints"e;, "e;440 Yards"e;, "e;Short Middle Distances and Three-quarter-mile Steeplechase"e;, "e;Distance Races and Two-mile Steeplechase"e;, "e;Yards High Hurdles"e;, "e;Yards Low Hurdles"e;, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on athletics.
